Tiwary out of England T20s with a back injury – Cricket News Update
Less than 48 hours after being named in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Manoj-Tiwary-c1890 has been forced to pull out due to a serious back injury.
The 27-year-old Bengal captain suffered a muscular tear during his side’s 270-run crushing at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy fixture in Rajkot. The right-handed middle order batsman was found writhing with pain while batting
in the first innings on Sunday, and retired hurt after fighting his way to 55.
The right-hander was unable to return to the field and underwent scans to assess the extent of the damage. He was subsequently ruled out of action for at least six weeks, and will now travel to the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore
for a comprehensive rehabilitation programme under physio Nitin Patel.
"The MRI report has come and I am leaving for Bangalore tomorrow," Tiwary told PTI from Rajkot on Monday. "I will follow what physio http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nitin-Gopal-Patel-c79732 tells me to do once he checks the report. As of now it looks like six weeks," he added further.
The ill-timed back injury means the talented Bengal batsman will miss the T20 series against the on-tour England, the much-anticipated limited overs series against arch-rivals http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 later this month, and could struggle to be in
contention for the five-match ODI series against the Three http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808 in January next year.
Tiwary has not been a regular member of India’s limited overs squad since making his international debut in 2008, playing in only eight ODIs and three T20 Internationals over the last four years, and is yet to make his Test debut.
It’s unfortunate for the Bengal skipper who has shown some good form this season, scoring a gusty 191 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gujarat-c787 in a Ranji Trophy fixture, and had also scored an impressive 93 for India A against England in a three-day warm-up match last month. He
had also missed the start of the Ranji Trophy earlier this season due to a wrist injury.
The two-match T20 International series between India and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 kick starts in Pune on December 20, 2012.
